| chronic stress in lizards: studies on the behavior and benzodiazepine receptors in liolaemus koslowskyi and cnemidophorus tergolaevigatus. | behavioral and physiological adaptive responses of animals facing chronic exposure to a single stressor may allow them to overcome its negative effects for future exposures to similar stressful situations. at chemical level, the gabaa/benzodiazepine complex is considered one of the main receptor systems involved in the modulation of stress-induced responses. here, we describe the behavioral responses of two different lizard species, liolaemus koslowskyi and cnemidophorus tergolaevigatus exposed ... | 2016 | 28198153 |
| study of lipid reserves in liolaemus koslowskyi (squamata: liolaemidae): reproductive and ecological implications. | in reptiles, many lipid reserve structures were recognized, and different patterns of storage and utilization of lipids have been identified. in this study, a population of liolaemus koslowskyi was studied to analyze the diversity and functioning of the lipid reserve structures. the specific objectives were to identify the main lipid reserve structures, and to describe their seasonal patterns; to study sexual and seasonal variations of the reserve structures; and to analyze the relation between ... | 2019 | 31280339 |
